And that's assuming there is enough cylinder wall to go that far as others have pointed out. A quick check on Ebay shows 2 .060" 305 pistons available now. Your best bet is probably just keep looking for 305 pistone, they do show up.

I have no connection to the seller. |
I thought I read somewhere before that the 305 and 351 shared the same block just a bigger bore on the 351.I know where I can pick up a 351 for a few hundred.If nothing else I guess I could rebuild the 351 if the block is decent.
My block has one cylinder that had a broken ring and a double ridge in it from it.I asked him about pulling a sleeve in that cylinder .He said the rest of the cylinders are to bad to make it worth it.Also I can't find .060 rings so pistons won't do any good without them.
